One of our clients, a leading London boutique law firm, is looking for an experienced, commercially astute practice manager to take over the day-to-day responsibility for the operational management of the firm with an emphasis on the finance function.

This is a key leadership role designed to take over vital functions currently being dealt with by one of the partners, enabling the partnership to focus more strategically on business development and client delivery.

The successful candidate will be responsible for the strategic and operational oversight of Finance, HR, Facilities, IT, and Compliance and Risk Management, acting as a vital bridge between the fee-earning and support functions. You will report directly to the equity partners and be instrumental in driving performance, improving processes, and ensuring the firm remains compliant and competitive.

It is essential that you have proven experience in a senior operations/practice management role within another law firm, and a strong understanding of legal practice operations including SRA compliance, HR, finance, and risk management. It is particularly important that you have a strong finance background and they may consider a finance manager who is looking to move into a more general, practice manager role.

This is an exciting opportunity within an established, innovative law firm with a collaborative and collegiate firm culture. There is long-term potential for further leadership and strategic input.
